Karl Towns is one of the top high school basketball players in the country. A pint-sized cub reporter is one of many kids already looking up to the 7-foot rising star. He's three times taller than her.

Towns' shoes are the largest the Wildcats' staff has ever had to order, at least in the Nike era, for summer practices. And that miniscule shoe next to the 20? Just your average 10 1/2.
